“…Moreover, NPs remain in contact with the medium thanks to the porosity. Different architectures were proposed for the combination of these two materials: metal NPs inside the mesostructured oxide film [26][27][28][29], metal NPs placed between the oxide film and the substrate [28][29][30][31][32], and metallic NPs or films in the air-oxide film interface [33][34][35][36][37][38]. Alternatively, metallic particles covered with a mesoporous shell can be deposited onto substrates to prepare films for SERS sensing [39,40].…”

“…Five steps, namely (i) precursor selection and initial sol preparation, (ii) deposition, (iii) controlled aging, (iv) template removal and (v) wall crystallization, govern the final film properties as Soler-Illia et al pointed out [62]. Recently, the same authors contributed to state-of-the-art designs of plasmon-enhanced MTTFs with structural control of both the host and SPR-active NPs guests [64][65][66][67][68]. Their groups prepared well-ordered MTTFs derived either from mild oxidative at 350 • C air calcination [64][65][66] or extractive template removal [67,68] and employed an impregnation-reduction method to introduce noble metal NPs.…”

“…Structural control over a bicontinuous porous inorganic network on the 10 nm length scale is crucial for the functioning of many mesoporous thin film architectures, as demonstrated for mesoporous sensors, [1][2][3] ( photo)catalysis, 4,5 photovoltaics, including perovskite 6 and dye-sensitized solar cells, 7 optical coatings, 8 protective barriers 9 and separation and purification membranes. 10,11 Besides the mean pore size, the resulting pore dispersity is another important material property, as evidenced in examples related to electrochemistry, 2 sensing, 12,13 and controlled release. 14,15 This is best showcased in mass transport-limited scenarios governed by the Knudsen diffusion.…”
